Then, since the engine rooms of all cruise ships are below the passenger decks, how does making the engine room smaller (and I doubt that), give any more space to the passenger areas? 

The gas turbine on coral is in the funnel.

Lets pick this apart.  First off, "Crown Princess" does not have gas turbine engines, Coral Princess does.  Next, the ship is powered by both gas turbines and diesel electric generators.  Then, since the engine rooms of all cruise ships are below the passenger decks, how does making the engine room smaller (and I doubt that), give any more space to the passenger areas? 

 

Now, whether or not the additional cabins makes the Island "less space per passenger" is another topic, but these cabins are on deck 10 and higher, and the spaces on the Coral have absolutely nothing to do with the engine rooms.
